Beach Day!

Claire had her first trip to the beach! She did great! Blake loved playing in the sand with all of his beach toys and frisbee and seemed a little less afraid of the ocean than normal! The waves were pretty big, and the weather was nice! It was about 71 degrees and sunny, but a little breezy. Claire would have benefited from it being a little warmer and a little less breezy, but we enjoyed it!
























And, of course, we had to end our day appropriately.... In-n-Out!

A Trip to the Zoo

Blake and I had mommy-son trip to the zoo! It was about 55 degrees and sunny outside, which is cold for San Diego!
Blake has been teething with a cold lately, coughing quite a bit, but we decided to go anyways. We looked at some monkeys and birds first. He was so cute saying bird and monkey and making animal noises! He's getting so old! Then, we got to the gorillas. I looked down at him only to find out that he had just thrown up everywhere. What the heck!? He had coughed into a vomit. Gross. I cleaned him up and realized he puked on ALL THREE of his shirts. Awesome. Guess who got a new shirt? Yup. A $35 kids sweatshirt that is way to big. But luckily, he wasn't sick, and we enjoyed the zoo a little longer. That is, until he fell asleep, and I started feeling bad. By the time we got home, I thought I was going to pass out. I had the chills and a 101 fever! Another round of mastitis, of course. I am prone to clogs and mastitis, but it is getting ridiculous. I might be done pumping because of all the problems I have had. More to come on that later. For now, here are some pictures of our zoo trip!

The Holidays

It's hard to believe the holidays are over, and it is 2013! We had a great time visiting with all of our families. We were fortunate enough to have everyone travel to us to celebrate, visit, and meet Claire. Here are some pictures from our time over the holidays.



We got a annual pass to the San Diego Zoo from my parents and Alex's mom! Here we are enjoying our first visit for "Jungle Bells."








Shopping on Christmas Eve isn't the same here in SoCal. Here I am with Lauren shopping in nice weather at an outdoor mall!





















His favorite gift: Mickey Mouse. And don't worry... Press his belly and he sings the hot dog song!








Blake got a seat attachment for Alex's bike. It is so cool because it goes in front of Alex before the handlebars.





We climbed Black Mountain!
